Is it true that circumcision protects against HIV?
Research has shown that circumcised men are up to 70% less likely to contract HIV through sex. This is because the inner lining of the foreskin is thought to be particularly vulnerable to HIV. However, circumcision does not mean you cannot get HIV, it just means it’s less likely. Circumcised men can also pass on the virus just as easily as those whose foreskin has not been removed.
